At the crossroads of creation and production, The Eyes Lab works hand-in-hand with artists, curators and institutions to shape sensitive, engaged narratives.

Exhibitions initiated and organized by The Eyes are part of The Eyes Lab, our research and creation laboratory. They extend the themes explored in our publications, or emerge from specific programs such as Civis Maritimus, launched as part of the Ronan Guillou Residencies, which examines the relationship between humans and the marine world.

These often collaborative curatorial projects bring together artists, researchers and cultural partners in France and Europe. Their aim is to create sensitive, committed exhibition forms that address contemporary ecological and social issues, while inventing new visual narratives.
